The Master & Dynamic MW07 remain some of the best true wireless earbuds I've tested, even a year after I reviewed them. Now, the boutique New York audio brand is back with two new models — MW07 Plus is an upgraded version with some key improvements for the same price, while MW07 Go is a cheaper variant that promises the same great sound with a more workout-friendly design.
For the same $299 as the original, the Plus model offers 3x the battery life — 10 hours listening time in the earbuds with a further 30 hours in the charging case, which is once again finished with stainless steel and has a USB-C port. A 15-minute charge will get you up to 50% capacity, and 100% takes just 40 minutes. Just as before, you can use either earbud independently. Each one features custom 10mm beryllium drivers and a beamforming noise reduction mic arrays. A new Ambient Listening Mode lets in noise from your surroundings when you're not using the feedforward active noise cancellation to block it all out.

A criticism of Master & Dynamic has often been the high price of its luxurious products, so it's good to see a slightly more affordable option. The MW07 Go costs $199 and lives in a less flashy fabric-covered case. Battery life is also 10 hours on a single charge, with the same fast charging speed, but the case only gives you another 12 hours. While the MW07 Plus is IPX5, the Go ups that to IPX6 so they can better withstand sweaty exercise and rainy conditions.

The MW07 Plus casing is made from acetate and comes in Tortoiseshell, Steel Blue, White Marble, and a Studio 35 X Kevin Durant edition in Black Quartz. The MW07 Go is made from a lightweight thermoplastic composite (TR90) in simpler colors: Flame Red, Electric Blue, Stone Grey, and Jet Black. Both support voices assistants and are packaged with various ear tips and wings for a secure fit, while the Plus box also contains an additional soft storage pouch.
You can buy them now from the Master & Dynamic site for the prices listed below, while the older model has also received a permanent price drop to give you a good range of price points:
